Very recently, both the Motorola DROID RAZR and HTC Rezound launched to an awaiting audience that have been spoiled time after time with devices deemed to be the most cutting edge, but now they’re probably thrown a pickle in contemplating which one to side with. Obviously, the two Android powered smartphones are vying for supremacy, but in the end, there can only be one that can seemingly claim the coveted top spot...

This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

The specs on the Rezound look more impressive and the picture quality was AMAZING! But..... you can't pass up the great look that the Razr offers, the Rezound looks to chunky in my opinion. I think I'd pick the Razr myself.

Heres how i see it. The RAZR will sell best because it is part of verizons droid line up. The rezound will be good for the time being until htc comes out with a new phone...which probably already happend...and the nexus will be the best of the bunch. Even with ces just around the corner the nexus will be the only one with high sales into next year as we saw with the nexus s. Also the nexus has everything optimized for ics (smoothest), no buttons, nfc, big screen for on screen buttons, the charging dock thing, good battery life, and plenty other things.

The Droid razr has a very easy hard reset procedure which is used to overcome the screen freezing problem. motorola knew well in advance about thsi problem before they actually designed this phone so having a non-removable batetry is not a problem. Also, look at iphone 4 which also has non removable battery and it will also freeze up the screen but it sold so well world wide, that means people dont care much whether the battery is removable or not, so it is not a factor to consider.

Got my upgrade, ready at a moment notice, my HTC incredible just got gingerbread, I'm disappointed, that HTC didnt step it up with the rezound, besides the thunder bolt there has not been much of a change in HTC product

Verizon's HTC products do seem behind the times hardware-wise. With the exception of the screen (which is a big exception!) the Rezound is very similar to the EVO 3D and Sensation which have been on the market for half a year. Similarly the TBolt was essentially an LTE EVO. A few of us here hoped the Rezound would be the first S4 phone, but that's not how they've been operating the last year or two.

they have been both bench tested on the antutu test, the razr scores in the 6000-6200. the rezound was 4900-5000, razr has a better cpu (A-9 cortex), even though it is 1.2 vs 1.5 speed . love the rezound for the battery to pull out, but the razr has a bigger & longer lasting battery, 12 hours of talk time. Also the nexus has a little better cpu than the razr 4430 vs the nexus 4460,even though there are both TI A-9 cortex CPUs the 4460 is more advanced

I read the spec sheet and it appears that the 4460 may just be a little faster, running in the range of 1.2-1.5 GHz. The 4460 also bumps up the clock speed significantly on the GPU. The 4460 also has improved hardware support for 1080p video recording/playback. The 4470 allows for the processor to run in the range of 1.5-1.8 GHz.

yeah, i remember going into a T-Mobile store to see the Galaxy S II variant they have and the guy was trying to tell me it\'s faster than the other variants because of the 1.5GHz clock frequency and i was like yeah, okay guy. xD

the Razr is in fact better and yes the lower clock frequency will create less voltage therefore less heat and better battery life. as far as battery hogging resources go this thing has the most so you can expect it to have terrible battery life. i don\'t think this should\'ve been put out without either an MSM8960 which is a more power efficient processor or a bigger battery.

thats the highest ive seen on the rezound, but it still does not match the razr, the snapdragon s3 cpu in the rezound is good but cannot match the a-9cortex 4430 from TI, much less the 4460.
i want the nexus but i dont like the idea of not taking out the battery, might just wate till may of next year for the invedia tegra 3 with 5 core chip, now thats SPEED,

Who in the "he double hockey sticks" wants a damn iPhone product. The battery life of these first generation 4G/LTE devices are subpar at best. Why would someone buy a phone that will warrant sending it in for a battery replacement after about a year. Just another way for Moto to make money IMO.

I'm going to go ahead and say it. The Rezound is built on previous phones, which is a very, very good thing. It's essentially the Thunderbolt 2. Verizon probably changed it from that course from all the problems the first Thunderbolt had. Which, hopefully, have all been worked out.

The first of any kind of electronic is often plagued with major and multiple issues. Nexus will have it's lion's share of problems being the first with 4.0 (aren't we on 2.3.4 now?). Razr will have it's share as well, being that it seemed rushed out before the hollidays, it's the first of it's kind, and I can really see that "Super Thin" part being a major problem down the road. People often put their phone in there pocket, and i really can just see it break in half. I'm going with rezound in this battle, even without playing around with nexus. Rezound will have ICS soon enough, and by then, hopefully all the bugs will be worked out.

i wondered about the "sitting on it" point too. I weigh 225lbs and "sat" on my original droid for 2 years and now sit on my razr... i figure i'm going to treat it now how i want to for the next 2 years so i've been VERY impressed with its durability. the only difference is how much more comfortable it is to sit on since its soooooooo thin :P

they're both fine devices for Verizon but just like i thought the Razr is better overall. i'm jealous of the music player, lockscreen shortcut to the camera and the slightly refreshed widgets of the Razr! i want an update with these things to my Droid 3 to tide me over until ICS.

I compared both phones, the screen is not just a little bit better but incredibly better. The audio is much better and the sense UI is much better as well. The processor on the phones that i tried the MOTO phone with an active wallpaper glitched while the rezound was smooth. Overall if you actually compare them real world the rezound is much better accept that it is thicker. If you want thin at the expense of the other things related then you will want the razr. I think the reviewers are to impressed by thin. Watch a music video with the beats head phones on the rezound and then tell me what you think.

The Razr seems to be the better overall phone. Shart on Motorola for yet again designing a phone that's great at everything, but still comes with a shockingly crappy camera. Hopefully Google's acquisition of them will get some new quality control people in that dept, cause the are clearly blind, and they probably pick their noses with impunity.

My husband and I purchased new phones from verizon 2-3 weeks ago! I got the razr and he got the rezound. I like my big screen and thin durable shell! I don't like the camera at all! My husbands camera is much better than mine, I'm a photographer so I get down to the details. Not only does his focus faster, but the wb is true to color. It performs well in low light and the clarity surpasses my razr! I like the power button on top of the rezound versus the location of the side of the razr, and the charger cord drives me crazy on my razr located at the top... I do love the picture/screen quality better on the rezound , the color accuracy is much better than my razr! My razr shows things a bit more saturated, and sometimes a hue of green. I like my personal settings menu better, I find it easier to customize ringtones than my husbands. His screen is slightly smaller, but it's plenty big. I think my screen is easier to see outside. I'm thinking of trading mine in.
